One man band Great Earthquake, aka Noah Symons is back with a new album, his eighth. Beginning with instrumental bass, drums guitar, glockenspiel and loop pedal, his ability to infuse his music with vibrancy and energy really set him apart from his contemporaries on Melbourne’s vibrant indie scene. Over time he gradually integrated lyrics into his music, the kind of droll vocals you hear above.
‘What I See and What I Feel,’ is representative of Vibrant Noise offering urgent instrumentation and detached monotone vocals. He refers to the tune as “post-punk vibes and wild drums feature on this track about being consumed by external stimuli.”
This is what they have to say about Vibrant Noise:
“Great Earthquake is back with a fresh approach with Vibrant Noise. Made up of wild driving beats, post-punk bass lines, floating keys, and sparse reverb drenched vocals, this album was made without guitar to shift the focus on album number eight.”
Vibrant Noise is out now via Tempo Music Records. You can find it here.
